As the first true “east coast” race of the series, Atlanta is always a popular round with the fans and industry alike. This year, like always, the Georgia Dome stands were visibly packed if not sold out. But despite that, there was plenty of other news and happenings going down in Hotlanta. Lites class title contender Brett Metcalfe crashed and broke his collarbone in practice, James Stewart now holds onto the points lead in the SX class, and Christophe Pourcel knabbed his second win of the season, not mention much more. So without wasting anymore of your precious time, here’s Kickstart from the eighth round of the series.

This cool Monster Energy recycling bin was located in the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki pits. The Monster Energy Kawasaki team also had one only with a different design, which we featured here in Kickstart during Anaheim III.
